UPDATE: There were some errors in the original address, which has now been changed. Many thanks to KS and Lara for pointing this out. Please check the comments for suggestions on what to send—and what not.
My friend, Kelley, reports that another marine unit needs support: letters, cards, packages, if you feel so inclined. The unit is in Afghanistan, and whatever you send, c/o of Mr. Zierk, he will share with the unit.

Also, an amazing tribute written about the aid workers who were recently murdered in Afghanistan. A must read, if only to honor the dead, who tried so hard while they lived to do good with their lives.
Let their love for the Afghan people be what we remember. In this world there is endless suffering. Always has been, always will be. Within that, these men and women found what Italian film director Federico Fellini called la dolce vita, or “the sweet life.” We should all be so lucky.
